President Bush is expected Wednesday to visit the tornado-ravaged town of Greensburg.U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, of Kansas, announced Monday afternoon in Washington, D.C., that Bush planned the visit.

“President Bush has acted quickly to help the residents of Greensburg in every possible way,” Roberts said. “As the recovery effort continues, the president wants to personally visit with the people who have survived such a horrific tragedy.”

Details of the visit have not been announced.

Roberts also discussed from the Senate floor on Monday the devastation in the small Kansas town.

“Last Friday evening, the town of Greensburg, Kansas, was literally wiped off the map by an enormous tornado. As a result of this and storms associated with the system, 12 Kansans are confirmed dead, and I fear that number may still rise.”
